Magento and Patreon both appear on the Smoower Developer Ecosystem Index.

Magento (rank #209) holds a modest lead over Patreon (rank #536) on the overall Smoower ecosystem score (49 vs 36). The gap of 13 points reflects composite signals across code, docs, community and reach.

On education (docs, guides and learning material for developers), Magento is slightly ahead of Patreon. On community (issue response, PR reviews and discussion health), Magento is clearly ahead of Patreon. On reach (how visible the ecosystem is beyond its own repos), Patreon is clearly ahead of Magento. On momentum (release cadence and how fast the ecosystem moves), Magento is clearly ahead of Patreon.

Magento carries 18,718 GitHub stars across 97 public repos, with 20 repositories active in the last 90 days and 32 external contributors on record. Patreon shows 846 stars across 62 public repos, 0 active in the last 90 days and 2 external contributors. The star gap on its own does not decide the comparison, but Magento's footprint is roughly 22.1x larger, which usually shows up in downstream signals like inbound issues and third party integrations.
